my sorc screwed right?

[omik]

So Im a MF Blizz sorc, and I can run all NM bosses in under a minute, but cant even touch anything in hell.....

My slvls are: Max blizz, maxed Prereqs for blizz.... Not-maxed cold mastery

It seems that I cant get a seconday skill maxed being level 81 now :( I'm screwed right?

[omik]

Also, im making a CL/orb sorc now, what should my stats be?

[fbmferinctt]

well basically your not screwed... becsue you could alwasy just baal run until you have at least a 17cm... what items do you use by the way for your blizz sorc

[gorash]

when bliz sorcs run into immunes they can:
cold mastery can't break immunes anyhow. all it does it makes ur cold spells stronger around ones with resists or non immunity's.

1) tele away and go on to next minions

2) let the merc deal with it.

Also, im making a CL/orb sorc now, what should my stats be?

Str - enough for equipment (if spirit shield than 156)
Dex - Base (unless going max block)
Vita - Everything Else
Energy - Base if you have plenty of mana boost equipment, If not than 60 - 70

Ah damn, build a new one man.
If i screw a sorc and arent satisfied about it i delete it and start a new one.
If you have a free day, you can make the sorc to level 70+ if you want in 1 day.
I created a lot of sorcs and deleted them all exept 1 :)
In the beginning i experimented a lot with sorcs.

I use a pure blizzard sorc for hell meph, i use tals gear and the moat trick, meph goes down in less than 30 seconds.

I had the same problem with my M/O. Hell just wasn't doable but I had no decent gear. Then I traded for a wizspike. BIG BIG difference. Right now I'm 75res across the board and Hell Meph is a breeze. 110FCR and CBF and I am good to go. That's with the moat. I don't do too well when I try to take him on fair and square.

Items make the sorc :)

A Blizzard Sorc is one of my all time fav.
A few +skills items make a great difference.
As for the immunes, in hell there always are. Leave 'em alone, or deal with them like gorash said: a good merc can help a lot.

Since 1.10 mono element sorcs are very common. Blizz sorc is very effective vs all but cold immunes (like any single element build, they are not really all-round chars, immunes will be a pain (barring finity lite sorc)), due to the way Cold Mastery work.

Oculus and wizzy are fairly cheap to trade for, and so are some good pieces of gear like Vipermagi.
Your typical setup may be something like:
Shako
Viper
Oculus/wizzy
Lidless/Spirit
Snowclash/Arach/whatever
ecc...
If not, it may be useful to acquire some of these to improve the killing.
To make an example: Shako+Oculus+Spirit Monarch+Vipermagi+Archangel Ammy => +10 all skills. Now throw in a Snowclash belt to improve blizz and a +3 cold ammy and you are raising cold skills even further.
A low viper can be very cheap (pgems), Oculus goes for Pul or pgs, Shako goes for Um more or less. Spirit runes are common (Tal Thul Ort Amn) and a Monarch found in hell gets 4 sockets from old Larzuk. Great rare ammys can be gambled and they can have great mods too.

Then there are other options, like tal's armor/belt/ammy , but it is more expensive.

- 1 pt into static. u got one? very, very nice.
- a wand with LR crarges on swap. this will help against some immunes.

u can also make an infinity 4 ur merc, but awww, thats would make the game tooooo easy-)
